Day 3, June 6, 2017, King City to Paso Robles, Quad Buster

The town of Bradley used to be a bustling place until 101 moved and it became almost a ghost town.
The school district holds their only fundraiser with AIDS/LifeCycle cooking & serving burgers, with the option of a $100.00 plate in an air-conditioned room.
This year they grossed (with generous donations from ALC riders) 
$60,000.00 and netted $45,000.00.

Every Rest Stop & Lunch had bike mechanics.  Cannondale was at lunch in Bradley.


Due to a road closure from the rains this year the route deviated off of 101. We were given permission, not only to ride through Camp Roberts, but also to photograph parts of it.



That hill was a surprise that topped out at 20%. It was short, but after Quad Buster, many walked the last part of it.

You can guess which part of that is Quad Buster.

 Every year a pet rescue woman visits us in Paso Robles at the Mid State Fairgrounds where we camp. She brings a stroller with some of her friendly rescues. 
Rick with Opossum and Emilia with Bunny.                                                                                    
We get letters along the route from different elementary schools being taught about AIDS and the ride. They are all very interesting.
